Hide AdJames Brock, director at James & James Estate Agents, said: "This was a rare opportunity for someone to own a piece of history themselves and protect part of Worthing’s heritage. Owning an historic home is a privilege. You can sense everything that’s gone before and see where other people, hundreds of years earlier, have left their mark.
"It gives you that feeling that you are adding another layer to its story and one that will be passed on to future generations. The purchase of Stanhope Lodge has given one lucky person an exciting opportunity for a great investment, a unique family home and a special legacy.”
